45 and I'm done-zo

timezone game again? I'll go to bed in 15 minutes

Looks like they improved a few things. But I'll go for Veeam this time, even with ultra-cheap MS EDU licensing.

Does it come with its own electric utility ?

The utility comes from the fact that your wallet is lighter. Isn't is so much easier to walk now that you aren't weighed down by your wallet? You're welcome.

What about the outlet? We got 230V with 16 amps here (mostly). So you may attach 3.6 KW max. 2,2 KW is nearly 2/3 of that. Better not plug a water boiler to the same outlet

@thwr I think US is only 1800W, maybe 2400W (15 or 20A @ 120V). MIght not even be able to use this in US with standard outlet.

Wow, that's what I would call a marketing nightmare

Just left for the weekend

Just wrote a mail to pizza.de. Ordered something, got a confirmation (received by restaurant XYZ) and ... nothing. Called the restaurant a few times and finally someone picked up the phone. The guy told me that they never received the order.

Awesome to have something like pizza.de, but can't they build transactional processes which requires the restaurants to confirm an order before telling customers that their order has been received? That's not exactly rocket science.

There was a restaurant where I live it had an online order process, but then relied on fax machines to get the order to the local restaurant. It never worked well.

Well... uhm...

Writing a email to my useless ISP. Paying for fibre up to 76Mbps but 2-3 days a week it drops to 5Mbps or below! Told them to fix it or I go to trading standards to get me out of the contract as I'm not getting what I paid for!

ouch. My ISP just called me and asked if I want fibre right into my apartment. It's fibre-to-the-basement and VDSL2 from there at the moment.

Still not comparable to Korea for example.

Just left the office for today. Unpacked, upgraded and configured five EdgeSwitches (ES-48-LITE and ES-48-500W) and installed the first one. Need to order short patch cables soon.

Monoprice is good for the patch cables.

I usually prefer some local shop like kab24.de But thank you.

If I get a supersonic egg burrito from Sonic, maybe throw in tots or cinnasnacks...that stuff lasts me nearly all day. Half the time I can skip lunch entirely. Very filling.

I have the padding to handle missing a meal or 5. So not worried about that part.

Is "padding" what my wife means by "your sixpack bottle opener"?

FTFY. . .

love you too

I also seem to have a still active metabolism. . . so dieting isn't something I've ever done, although I do just avoid eating shitfood all day long.

Pre this job I was pretty active, driving around all the time. for the past 10 years.. mostly a desk job. Gained 15 lbs in that time.

Keep it, you paid for it.

Heading to bed now. Good night to the Americas. Good morning as I see the Europeans hoping on line already

Good morning, on my way to the office

Hit by a truck - that's how I feel like. Guess I catched a cold.

Rebuilding a patch panel, looks like the incarnation of the spaghetti monster right now. Should look like this when it's done:

Patch panel
48 port switch
Patch panel
Cable management panel
Patch panel
48 port switch
Patch panel

... and so on. A lot of work, but it's worth the effort.

Trying to think of a secure complex password that I can remember to use as a master password for LastPass

Make it an easy to remember sentence with proper punctuation and spacing?

Watching odd Youtube stuff. It's so... I need that thing

Reminds me of...

I guess there's no need for a translation.
A "Ritsch + Renn" classic that I've first seen in a very popular German IT magazine, back in 2001 or so I think.
